Speaker 5 (01:01):
I like the sound of that.
Speaker 6 (01:02):
Yes, cool a, the.
Speaker 2 (01:03):
Vows are great. Yeah, I really enjoyed. We spoke to
and Andrews a couple of weeks ago. There was such
a such a nice conversation. I really enjoyed speaking for
they hadn't spoken to him before. So yeah, very much
looking forward to listening to that new album. When the
whole thing is released in Seeing Them at One Mad
in March of next year. Now let's look at your film.
So this week we have a little bit of a
listen to your first one. This one is showing in cinemas.
(01:24):
It's called a Mistake.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Good Afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
This is a mobility and Mortality meeting.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
We're going to be discussing errors made by the surgical
staff in Lisa Williams case.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
We chrislas Hay.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Our daughter is in the look.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
Bye Bam. So Ha's got Elizabeth Banks and it's made
by Kiwi filmmaker Christine Jeffs.
Speaker 5 (01:53):
Yeah, it marks the return of Christine Jeffs.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
I've been a fan of her since she released Rain
and then she went on to make two more films,
Sylvia and Sun Juan Cleaning. She's returned to New Zealand
for this film Or It's in museum at a hospital
in Auckland and.
Speaker 5 (02:08):
It's a film about medical ethics and bureaucracy.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
She's managed to get Elizabeth Banks to play the lead character,
Elizabeth Taylor, who was a surgeon and her reputation and
career takes a hit when a patient dies after a
relatively routine procedure. The patient was thought to have appendicitis.
She they went in to do some exploratory.
Speaker 5 (02:30):
Surgery.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Taylor lets a nervous young doctor insert a gas port
into her abdomen. He bungles it, it ruptures an artery.
They fix it, and the patient, theverilically should be fine,
but actually she had very She accepted sema, which was
a lot worse than people thought, and she didn't last
the night. And this is where the film gets really interesting,
(02:54):
because it takes a look at the consequences of a
mistake and a death and the lasting impact it has
on everybody involved. So even among the patient was really
ill and the mistake was potentially not the cause of
the death, it's how everyone from Taylor, the young surgeon,
their bosses deal with the outcome and communicate it to
(03:17):
the parents. It raises that issue about sort of the system,
accountability and communication. Look, Elizabeth Banks is absolutely fantastic. She
reminds us I think more recently we've sort of seen
her in.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Quite large characters.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Here, she is very much a woman who is dealing
with an internal and external sort of crisis. She's also
surrounded by very competent Key we Cast and Renna Owen
and Matthew Sunderland. They don't have a large part, but
they play the parents of this young patient and they
are absolutely superb. It raises some really thoughtful questions. It
is a very intense film. It is quite bleak, but
(03:59):
it's brilliantly acted. And I think, as I said to you,
just raises a whole lot of issues that relate to
our house system here New Zealand, but I think it.
Speaker 5 (04:10):
Will be it will relate globally very much as well.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Very good. Okay, cool, that is a mistake. It's showing
in cinemas at the moment. Next up, let's have a
listen to The Outrun.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
The urge to drink can come out of norwhere do
you think you're doing well? Suddenly you want nothing more
than a drink?
Speaker 2 (04:33):
And that is Sasha Ronan tell us about The out
Run Francescin.
Speaker 6 (04:37):
Yes, so this is another beautiful film actually with a
female protagonist in strite Sasha ron And I'm a huge
fan of hers and I've been reading a few articles
about this film, The Outrun, and I was absolutely thrilled
to see.
Speaker 5 (04:50):
It has just started in theaters.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
Now you'll probably have to head to your independent local
theater to find it like it's playing at the Lido
in Epsom. It is based on a memoir by Amy
Liptrot and Ronan plays Rona and she's a marine scientist
and she returns to her home on the wild Orkney
Islands off the north coast of Scotland.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
And I am, as.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I mentioned, huge fan of Ronans and there is a
lot of award to talk around this performance, so there's
already quite a bit of an oscar buzz around it,
so definitely worth catching. She has been away from her
home for about a decade. She's been living in London,
but her life is unravel She's an alcoholic and her
alcoholism has ruined her relationship. She's lost her job, and
(05:37):
then there's sort of a catastrophic event which leads her
to get help. We start in Orkney and we follow
her as she's adjusting to being back home looking after
her parents have separated.
Speaker 5 (05:50):
Her mother has found God.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Her father is bipolar and she helps him on the
farm raising the sheep and things. And then her London
life is all in flashbacks and we very much recognize
this young person. She's living life, she's going out, she's
having a good time, but then we just see the
addiction really take over her life, and then we watch
her go through a recovery.
Speaker 5 (06:11):
She gets to a point where she goes, I'm not
really sure.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
If I can ever be happy again without alcohol, And
so she ends up on this island, and the island
itself is an amazing character. It is majestic. It is
this wind gale swept place. It's nature at its most
remote and wild, and this is very much a film
about the restorative power of nature and solitude and taking
(06:35):
life one day at a time as we see her
find her feet. Look, it's stunning the way it unfolds.
It's not a straightforward narrative, the Scottish folklore which is
animated this documentary footage. I'm sure some of the people
on these islands are actually real people, are not.
Speaker 5 (06:49):
Actors from these islands.
Speaker 3 (06:50):
I just love the way this beautiful film just gently unfolded,
and I think it's a beautiful observation of a person
dealing with addiction and recovery.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Loved it sounds fantastic, great Oka you have to search
ab out a like it's a bit tricky to definitely. Okay, no, no,
that's worth it though. By the sounds of things, so
that is the outrun. Francisca's first film was a mistake.
It's the name of the film, not anything else, and
both of those films will be up on the News Talks.
Speaker 1 (07:18):
He'd be website for more from Saturday Morning with Jack Tame.
